?️ HIRING | PRODUCT DESIGN / MECHANISM DESIGN ENGINEER

Defence R&D; • Precision Engineering • Indigenous Product Development

? HUBLI, KARNATAKA | In office

? Astr Defence Pvt. Ltd.

? www.astrdefence.com

Experience: 2–8 Years

Astr Defence is a deep-tech defence technology company developing indigenous small arms, launchers, fire-control systems, electro-optics, thermal imaging and counter-UAV technologies for the Indian defence ecosystem.

We are looking for a hands-on Product Design / Mechanism Design Engineer who can convert engineering concepts into precise, manufacturable and reliable hardware.

? THIS IS NOT JUST A CAD JOB

We are looking for an engineer who understands:

DESIGN → TOLERANCE → MACHINING → ASSEMBLY → TESTING → IMPROVEMENT

You should be comfortable solving real-world problems involving fit, clearance, interference, tolerance stack-up, precision machining and functional performance.

? WHAT YOU WILL WORK ON

- Mechanism and precision product design
- Complex mechanical assemblies and moving mechanisms
- Design for VMC / CNC turning / grinding / honing / precision machining
- GD&T;, fits, clearances & tolerance stack-up
- Worst-case and statistical tolerance analysis
- Precision component and assembly development
- DFM / DFA and manufacturing-ready drawings
- Prototype development and validation
- Root-cause analysis of design/manufacturing problems
- Shop-floor interaction and design corrections
- Improving dimensional accuracy, surface finish and repeatability
- Structural / thermal analysis where required
- Design iteration based on testing and field feedback
- Collaboration with electronics, optics, software and systems engineers

? THE ENGINEER WE ARE LOOKING FOR





You should have

✅ Strong machine / mechanism design fundamentals

✅ Excellent understanding of GD&T;, fits, clearances and tolerance stack-up

✅ Practical understanding of precision machining and manufacturing processes

✅ Experience with VMC, CNC turning, grinding, honing, jig boring or similar precision processes

✅ Ability to understand how a component will actually be manufactured, measured, assembled and tested

✅ Strong proficiency in SolidWorks / Fusion 360 or equivalent

✅ Ability to troubleshoot interference, tolerance and functional problems

✅ Hands-on prototype / shop-floor experience

✅ Ability to independently take a design from concept → drawing → prototype → validation → improvement

Defence / aerospace / automotive / precision engineering / industrial mechanism experience is preferred.

⭐ WHAT MATTERS MORE THAN YEARS OF EXPERIENCE

We are particularly interested in engineers who can look at a mechanism and ask:

"Will this actually work when manufactured?"

Not just

"Can I model it in CAD?"

We value

Engineering judgement • Precision • Problem solving • Manufacturing awareness • Ownership

? WHY JOIN ASTR DEFENCE?

Work on real indigenous defence products, not routine CAD assignments.

You will get exposure to:

- Product development from concept to production




- Precision mechanisms
- Advanced manufacturing
- Prototyping & testing
- Design-for-manufacturing challenges
- Cross-functional defence technology
- Rapid design iteration and problem solving For the right engineer, this is an opportunity to build deep product-development expertise, rather than becoming only a CAD modeller or drawing engineer.

? WORK LOCATION

Hubli, Karnataka | On-site

? Defence R&D; + precision manufacturing environment

? Bus facility from Hubli city to factory

? 9:00 AM – 6:30 PM

? Monday–Saturday | Sunday holiday

❌ PLEASE DO NOT APPLY IF

- Your experience is primarily CAD modelling/drafting
- You have little understanding of manufacturing processes
- You have no practical exposure to GD&T; / tolerances
- You prefer a purely desk-based CAD role
- You are uncomfortable working closely with manufacturing and prototypes
